Is it actually 29%?
Not that I've seen. On some issues, he's down a lot, but overall has him in the 37-42 range. Which is about 50 too high
There's a solid core that will never abandon him, and a squishy shell that could, but only consumes right wing propaganda
Working in hospice, I regularly come across patients/family members who actively seem to avoid anything that could potentially challenge their beliefs.
Step one, vote orange because R. Step two, remove anyone or anything from your life that makes you uncomfortable or requires reflection. Step three, exist comfortably with your head in the sand while the rest of the world burns.
I mean lots of people do the same thing on the other side, but many deem it as reasonable because they agree with the viewpoint. It's natural when the opposition is considered to be wrong and irrational to cope by removing all interaction. It doesn't matter which side, it's true for both. When it gets to an extreme point, you get civil war or capitulation.
People on the left don't bury their heads in the sand and pretend people with opposing opinions don't exist. Fuck, I'm a lefties precisely because the other guys are fucking fascists. You cut those out of your life because they are horrible evil people and their entire world view is incompatible with something as basic as empathy for your fellow human.
Just to be clear, I'm not justifying it, but the reason doesn't matter. The right thinks the same of the left. You say they don't, but then go on to say why they do cut people out. Of course they do, else they'd be going insane... It's a mental survival coping tactic. Both sides do this, until something changes, like regime change, civil war, or capitulation.
Last I saw was 39%.
Naw, they forgot a . it's actually 2.9%
